Detailed Description

This is a button that when pushed pops up a menu (or hierarchy of menus) defined by an array of Fl_Menu_Item objects.

P

Normally any mouse button will pop up a menu and it is lined up below the button as shown in the picture. However an Fl_Menu_Button may also control a pop-up menu. This is done by setting the type(). If type() is zero a normal menu button is produced. If it is nonzero then this is a pop-up menu. The bits in type() indicate what mouse buttons pop up the menu (see Fl_Menu_Button::popup_buttons).

The menu will also pop up in response to shortcuts indicated by putting a '&' character in the label().

Typing the shortcut() of any of the menu items will cause callbacks exactly the same as when you pick the item with the mouse. The '&' character in menu item names are only looked at when the menu is popped up, however.

When the user clicks a menu item, value() is set to that item and then:

- The item's callback is done if one has been set; the
  Fl_Menu_Button is passed as the Fl_Widget* argument, 
  along with any userdata configured for the callback.

- If the item does not have a callback, the Fl_Menu_Button's callback
  is done instead, along with any userdata configured for it.
  The callback can determine which item was picked using
  value(), mvalue(), item_pathname(), etc.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Fl_Menu_Button()

Fl_Menu_Button::Fl_Menu_Button ( int  X,
int  Y,
int  W,
int  H,
const char *  l = 0 
)

Creates a new Fl_Menu_Button widget using the given position, size, and label string.

The default boxtype is FL_UP_BOX.

The constructor sets menu() to NULL. See Fl_Menu_ for the methods to set or change the menu.

Member Function Documentation

◆ draw()

void Fl_Menu_Button::draw ( )
protectedvirtual

Draws the widget.

Never call this function directly. FLTK will schedule redrawing whenever needed. If your widget must be redrawn as soon as possible, call redraw() instead.

Override this function to draw your own widgets.

If you ever need to call another widget's draw method from within your own draw() method, e.g. for an embedded scrollbar, you can do it (because draw() is virtual) like this:

Fl_Widget *s = &scroll; // scroll is an embedded Fl_Scrollbar
s->draw(); // calls Fl_Scrollbar::draw()
Fl_Widget is the base class for all widgets in FLTK.
Definition Fl_Widget.H:101

Implements Fl_Widget.

◆ handle()

int Fl_Menu_Button::handle ( int  event)
virtual

Handles the specified event.

You normally don't call this method directly, but instead let FLTK do it when the user interacts with the widget.

When implemented in a widget, this function must return 0 if the widget does not use the event or 1 otherwise.

Most of the time, you want to call the inherited handle() method in your overridden method so that you don't short-circuit events that you don't handle. In this last case you should return the callee retval.

Parameters
[in]eventthe kind of event received
Return values
0if the event was not used or understood
1if the event was used and can be deleted
See also
Fl_Event

Reimplemented from Fl_Widget.

◆ popup()

const Fl_Menu_Item * Fl_Menu_Button::popup ( )

Act exactly as though the user clicked the button or typed the shortcut key.

The menu appears, it waits for the user to pick an item, and if they pick one it sets value() and does the callback or sets changed() as described above. The menu item is returned or NULL if the user dismisses the menu.
